Buffbloom Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I've come across a number of pressings that say that the record label was Vinyl Collective. Is this the same vinyl Collective as us? I mean, there's some awesome pressings including Saves The Day and Every Time I Die. If this is us, why did we stop? It looks like we did a decent job. What went wrong? I remember this topic coming up years ago and it becoming a shit show, so I don't want that to happen again. I'm just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Without getting into the nitty gritty, it was/is. Virgil coincided VC with Suburban Home. After SHR went tits up and a lot of drama occurred he sold the VC moniker to SRC since it existed as a community. SRC keeps the lights on, everyone hates on them. VC has and will always be a rebellious bastard child of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Is it something we can do again, or is it just too much of a shit show of bickering back and forth trying to agree on what to press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Is it something we can do again, or is it just too much of a shit show of bickering back and forth trying to agree on what to press? You just love coming up with failed models and reviving them. First trying to compete with discogs, now reviving a label that screwed people out of money. At this point, you might as well as just run for president of the USA. museummouth, snacks4all, TheGhostOfRandySavage and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Are the threads from the VC Hall Of Fame still active? That should give a pretty good idea. I think this thread also shows why although it made sense not everyone wanted the Co-Op threads deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Also I wonder if more people ever got their refund. That Suburban Home for life $1,000 option towards the end sure seemed tempting... "Craft beer and Independent music" happened.The tour was included right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Vinyl Collective was an imprint of Suburban Home. It was 100% owned and operated by Virgil. Vinyl Collective Co-Op was a member run label. There were 200 individual owners with virgil operating as the head. He was a shit head and misappropriated Vinyl Collective Co Op funds into his dying label. Leave Vinyl Collective and Vinyl Collective Co-Op dead and buried.

Derek™ Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Crazy to think VC had its own pressings at one point – now it just has its own variants for buzzy POs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I never knew vc did a Saves the Day album, which one was that? I think it was a joint release with vagrant/cobra side/vinyl collective. I believe sound the alarm and under the boards Vc had an exclusive color.

dreamover Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I never knew vc did a Saves the Day album, which one was that?they didn't. There were 100 different variants and the VC/suburban home store got an exclusive variant. Both them and a distro that (I think) was called nerd alert records or something had their own variants of sound the alarm and under the boards. While the co-op was shitty cause Virgil took people's money, at least the got records. The really shitty situation was how many small labels had records on consignment that never got paid. He even started selling other people's records under cost, so he effectively stole. Then went of the grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
